ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ThreatConnect announced today the release of ThreatConnect Platform v7.0, the industry’s first threat intelligence platform designed specifically for TI Ops. The new release radically increases the effectiveness of threat intelligence analysts and security operations teams by bringing together the power of human analysis, ML-powered analytics and intelligence, and automation.

In a recent survey of ThreatConnect customers, more than 68% of respondents said that the product helped them improve their MTTR by more than 50%. In the same survey, 95% of respondents noted that ThreatConnect enabled them to get more value from their existing security tools such as SIEM, XDR, and SOAR. ML-Powered Global Intelligence and Analytics with CAL⢠v3.0

CAL⢠now has the ability to understand MITRE ATT&CK techniques. This capability underpins the new CALâ¢Automated Threat Library (ATL) intelligence. Native Reporting Engine

With ThreatConnect’s native Reporting engine, customers can easily create custom reports to put actionable information in front of the right people at the right time to improve defenses. Built-in Enrichment

Users will have a simple, plug-and-play experience to have the most common enrichment providers set up throughout the ThreatConnect platform, helping them to identify false positives, and to pull out actionable intelligence to improve detection efficacy and speed up threat response. Year of year, with 60% growth, followed by Europe that has seen a substantial growth of 50% and North America with 28%. Newer and major CVEâs impact higher in cloud-based networks compared to on-prem Although the current number of attacks on cloud-based networks is still 17% lower than in non-cloud networks, when drilling down to types of attacks, and specifically to Vulnerability Exploits, there is a higher usage of newer CVEâs (disclosed 2020-2022) compared to on-prem networks for attempted attacks on cloud-based networks. Further analysis of specific high profile global vulnerabilities reveals that some major CVEâs have had a higher impact on cloud-based networks compared to on-prem. For example, the Text4shell Vulnerability (CVE-2022-42889), which was disclosed in October and was exploited soon after, has shown a 16% higher impact on cloud-based environments compared to its impact against on-prem networks. This vulnerability, based on the Apache Commons Textâs functionality, allows attacks over a network without the need for any specific privileges or user interaction.

The 7 Pillars of Robust Cloud Security Zero-trust cloud network security controls across logically isolated networks and micro-segments Shift your security left Keep code securely hygiene with vulnerability management (perhaps you may want to re-edit as it should be securely hygenic Avoid misconfiguration with continuous posture scanning Safeguarding all applications (and especially cloud-native distributed apps) with active prevention via IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and next-generation web application firewall Enhanced data protection with multi-layers Threat intelligence that detects and remediates known and unknown threats in real-time
